Who do you think created man, animals etc. It had to start somewhere. The earth was without void so someone had to start life on this earth and it had to be someone with some super natural power. Things didn't just materialize by itself. God has made it all possible.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Gen. 1:1-31
The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good. Ps. 14:1

If earth didn't just materialize by itself then what makes you think that God did? Who created God? And if you believe God was always there and didn't need to be created first, how come do you think it's impossible that the same could apply about the universe, including earth?

I don't understand how anyone can look at a sunset or a dandelion or an ant colony or a newborn baby and not believe in an intelligent designer.
If someone walked into a cave and saw some cave drawings, they would know that an intelligent being had been there.
How can people that think that logically then look at our complex world and say there's no higher power? I think it's a deeply spiritual decision (whether they admit it or not), unfortunately with dire consequences.

Ever heard of evolution and the big bang. Those are two of the theories out there. Look them up and ask your parents to stop home schooling you. Even if you refuse to believe what you'll learn at school at least you will actually learn the opposing arguments instead of asking questions like that.

It clearly states in the Poetic Eddas that Odin, the All-Father, created the heavens and the Earth.

How do you know that heaven exists?
How do you know that "the earth was without form, and void" if that is what you meant?
You questions imply the acceptance of Christianity, so how can we answer.

There's science involved with it. You're right, things just didn't materialize by it self. However, seeing as I likely don't have space to explain it all, I will encourage you to do some research. We have a fairly good idea how things happened.

No one knows the answer to that.
You have proved NOTHING!
I am a deist and I think there is a God. There is no proof either way.
Why do you care what someone else believes?
As long as you keep your religion out of our laws I don't care what you believe either.

Who or what created the god who created the universe? And so on and so on.

"The earth was without void"
actually it says the earth was without form, and void.
you assert without proof that god is necessary, so i feel justified here in asserting without proof that god is unnecessary. if you actually want to know why i think that, ask that question.
